The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater is a must - also, Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. I also read The Secret History this year, though it was released years ago, and have been recommending it to people. Happy reading!

currently reading third book in the series The Books of Elsewhere. So cute and delightful. It's kinda fun and adventurous the way Harry Potter is, quirky, funny, magical. It's really cool. It's about this 10/11 year old girl who can climb into paintings into the world of Elsewhere and has talking cats and a haunted house...basically you should read it. I've got the whole series (and met the editor who worked on them!) and I'm gonna give them to Jo's 10 year old sister for Christmas.

It would be perfect for one of your little siblings...just saying, then you could both enjoy them!

I seem to be on a romance/YA bent as of late (probably because I've been doing some book reviews of what some fellow writers are putting out in those genres), but if you're into high end YA (meaning the characters are 17+), you should check out "Softly Say Goodbye" by KC Sprayberry.

It is a fantastic book about teenage drinking and it will defintely affect you ways that you wouldn't think possible.

I absolutely love hearing from you! Thank you so, so much for your thoughts and comments, they really do make my day. Consider yourself awesome. Also, I do my best to respond to every comment within 24 hours, so I invite you to come back and continue the conversation :)
